Early racing career
Danica Patrick began go-carting in 1992 at the age of 10, and went on to win several World Carting Association championships. She moved to England at the age of 16 in order to advance her racing career. Patrick raced in Formula Ford and Formula Vauxhall, earning a second-place finish in Britain's Formula Ford Festival, the highest finish by a woman in the event.

In 2002, Patrick started driving for former Indy car racer Bobby Rahal and late night TV host David Letterman in the United States. After making several starts in the Barber Dodge Pro Series, she moved to the Toyota Atlantic Championship for 2003. Driving for Rahal Letterman Racing, Patrick won one pole and was a consistent podium finisher (top three); however, she never won a race. In 2004, Patrick finished third in the Championship.

Formula One speculations
In the end of 2008, Patrick was scheduled to test for Formula One team Honda in November 2008, however this was ultimately called off due to the Honda F1 pullout.

Future American F1 team USGPE has allegedly considered testing Patrick for 2010. However, Danica made a public statement at a news conference in West Allis, Wisconsin explaining she has not been contacted by anyone from the new American-based Formula One team and has no plans to leave the IndyCar Series.
